Customers are dissatisfied with the screws of the tool. They mention that the set screws are too loose to stay tight, the screws quickly loosen, and the bottom screws take off the surface of the DWE7491RS table saw. Some customers also report that an allen wrench and a screw were missing from the package. The bar fit into the slot is too loose and loosens when you slide the bar.

Great for use on the bandsaw to ensure consistent resaw
5 Stars
Great for use on the bandsaw to ensure consistent resaw
I have a Laguna 18BX bandsaw, and use a 1.25" resaw king carbide tipped blade for resaw work. I've noticed that over time the fence will go out of alignment, and when I try to resaw, I'll have issues if I don't properly align the fence to prevent any drift. I often resaw at the maximum height of 16 inches, so any blade drift compounds problems, especially on a long board that I'm resawing.I used to just use a square and set the fence that way, but this dial gauge is purpose built for this kind of alignment, and it made checking for parallel quick and easy. The only thing I have to account for is the actual deflection of the fence from sideways pressure since I also use a bow resaw featherboard with the 10 inch extension to apply lateral force to hold the wood firmly against the fence, and this causes the fence to deflect away from the blade at the rear. This is no fault of this dial indicator though, and something that I just need to account for when I'm using the dial indicator to set the fence properly.This wasn't the cheapest option, but it does feel well built and consistent. It was easy to assemble and figure out how to use and adjust the miter bar. Everything tightens down with confidence too, which is nice. Overall, I'm very pleased, and am glad to have it on hand!
